Trump: A Rhetorical Analysis
Being the president of any nation is a tremendous honor, but when it comes to the United States being the president is an even bigger deal. Most of the people in the world are all well informed about the United States’ 45th president, Donald J. Trump, because of technology. (Political positions, 2017).
The world now know who he is, better than what has been learned about the previous presidents. The world learned more about his past and learns more intimately about what type of a human being Donald is. His plans for moving forward with the United States is more important than ever due to America’s growing struggles and international competition.
Trump is the first president to be in office and is able to put his opinion out there for the whole

Politico Magazine is stating that Trumps immigration crackdown is well underway. The presidents has engineered a major shakeup during his first 100 days in office by combining a quick stroke of the pen and his forceful rhetoric” written by (Davis and Rosenberg, 2017, para1).
All of these controversies have brought rage and anger in many American households. On the other hand, many Americans find that there is nothing wrong with what Trump is doing on Twitter or in the media he is just trying to make “America Great Again.” CNN has a huge conflict between their crew and Trump; Donald Trump does not like CNN because of their “Fake News” that is constantly being reported about him and what he is doing trying to do for the Nation and the rest of the world. (Persons, Axelrod 2017).
Trump had difficulties with CNN reporters on “false” photograph about the size between how many people had intended his inauguration vs. the United States former president Barack Obama’s inauguration back in 2009. (Klein, 2017) A journalist from CNN Politics

[ He] had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend.” With those comments, Trump decided to join the feud and fired back at the comedian by going to People Magazine and told them “O’Donnell is “a real loser” and “a woman out of control.” You can’t make false statements. Rosie will rue the words she said,” stating her claims that he went bankrupt. “I’ll most likely sue her for making those false statements”- - and it’ll be fun. Rosie’s a loser. A real loser. I took forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie.” (Zaru, 2017 Para2).
On May 2007 only eight months after Rosie joined “The View,” O’Donnell left the show after getting in a heated conversation with a co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck over the war in Iraq. Trump, who had insulted both hosts, took O’Donnell’s side because he was also against the

    If there can be any objection to the administration, it can be the general disdain it has for reality. The President of the United States of America has employed the highest offense possible; he attempts to promote contradictory ideas at the same time and hold that they complement each other. Trump’s most important example should be his tone on the campaign trail. Trump’s campaign was run on two violently opposing ideas: that America is a perfect nation, that America is God’s nation, that America is the savior and protector of the world, America has the perfect culture that all nations should adopt, and our soldiers are the strongest, our products are the best, our land is the most beautiful, and that all nations should be subservient to American…

    "He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control."…

    Throughout the speech Trump listed examples such as the trade deficit, poor infrastructure and the destruction of American values. With each example given, Trump outlined how America has fallen from its once glorious ‘silver eagle’ status. America has always been the country that the world looks up to as being at the forefront of humanistic values such as innovation, integrity, free speech and religion. Trumps ideas of how America has fallen evokes a concern for what most citizens’ see as true American principle and doctrine. Trumps use of language to alarm the public is in general an attempt to illustrate the loss of American…

    On June 16, 2015, in the extravagant Trump Tower of New York City, Donald John Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidency. While most Americans raised their eyebrows in bewilderment, comedians erupted in a dance that Happy Feet would envy. His bombastic personality, amorphous hair, and poorly photographed facial expressions have become some of the most popular political punchlines. Critics dissect his statements and possible solutions until they seem unrealistic, and some are, like building a “YUGGEEE” wall to separate America and Mexico. While Trump is one of the most successful men in America, he is portrayed in media to be an ignorant idiot by YouTubers, comedy writers, and even respected…

    Speaker’s use diction, syntax, and imagery to reflect their tone. In her final argument, Clinton says “After the world watched with horror as the twin towers fell, he called in to a New York TV station, and even on that horrible day when thousands of people lost their lives, he couldn’t stop himself from pointing out that now, because the towers had fallen, a building he owned was the tallest in Lower Manhattan.” Hillary Clinton's use of words like “horror” and “horrible” sets an apathetic tone. By setting this tone Clinton hopes to show voters how self-centered Donald Trump is. While Clinton strives to prove that Donald Trump was self-centered, Trump ventured to show that Hillary Clinton was crooked. Donald Trump first called Hillary Clinton…

    He warmingly starts off by thanking some former presidents, “President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama....”, the American people especially, and everyone around the world for his election win. His voice is very direct and to the point when he states how he would approach the nation as a whole: “We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore it's promise for all of our people”. The formal tone allowed a flow through his speech that showed his thoughts clearly and straightforwardly. The short pauses created tension and a sense of understanding between President Trump and his audience. Much of his…

    Donald Trump Dbq

    Donald Trump won his presidency over Hilary Clinton, winning the electoral vote but losing the popular vote by around 2.9 million votes. Knowing that the majority of Americans did not want Trump as President, it would make sense for Trump to handle the office with care, and work to gain the trust of the Americans who did not want him as their President. In the short 48 days since Trump has been President, it is safe to say that he does not care about the opinions of those who did not vote for him and those that did vote for him. He signs executive orders and appoints nominees without consideration. He makes every move based on his priorities, and not the rest of America.…

    That is the Information that CNN and The New York Times are sending out to us viewers, they are being perfidiousness to us. The news sources are giving us one sided stories that are planned to meet their opinions instead of just putting out the facts and leaving us to interpret it. Studies show that humans are more likely to choose something because they heard of it on the tv or because someone else choose it. This means that CNN and The New York Times have made trap that everyone is walking into. Also 38% of americans watch CNN each day, that’s a big number. Also 88% of people read a New York Times paper each month, meaning that millions of lives are being filled with bias facts making it so the TV is deciding that person's likability and not his actions. What’s worse is that CNN has admitted to making up stories, and being rude to the president. This is a quote from one of CNN’s main editors “Yeah that whole Russia hacking the elections was just a cover up so Hillary didn’t lose so bad”. How angry does that make you feel? Half of the american population believed that only to learn it’s false. What’s worse is that CNN still has bias and hasn’t fixed their problems. Also CNN has admitted to their own pravda. However you can get them to change by watching other news networks who are not bias. This will hit their income hard and force them to change their ways or their news network…

    The article then proceeds to question why Trump would imitate a man who has difficulty moving at least one of his limbs by madly thrashing his own. Evidence pertaining to who might be the intended audience is, “ is it asking too much for these people who are constantly attacking him to actually know what they are talking about? To be honest brokers of information? To be just a bit judicious?”( Kerry Jackson), and how this refers to the intended audience is words used such as ridiculous and fake referencing that the audience are people who similarly think that the social media bashing this topic are not aware of it in anyway. This article or source proves to be not credible due to the amount of bias shown towards the “lies” directed toward the event surrounding Trump’s name and accusations that evidence is apparent of being fake and a form of support to the anti-trump and anti- republican ideology. Statements such as “The lesson here is while the Democrats, and the branch of the DNC that’s also known as the media, are doing all they can to smear Trump as a depraved, crude and hateful man, the people who best fit under those terms are his accusers.”( Kerry Jackson) , leaves…
